"(Other than the ones above...) "I have chosen to do this interview blind, which means I have not looked at your application. So...tell me about yourself."" Report Response | I was asked this question too
""Tell me about your dental/clinical experience." " Report Response | I was asked this question too
""If you don't get into dental school, what will you do?"" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"1. What would you do if you saw a fellow dental student cheating in class? 2. What is your vision for practicing dentistry after graduation?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What do you think will be your biggest challenge you will face in dental school? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"1. Online research. I read helpful tips from university websites (St. Mary's and Berkeley, for exaxmple) and an article from www.dentalcomfortzone.com on getting into dental school and what to expect in the interview. 2. Typing out answers to potential interview questions and then reading through them out loud. 3. Performing mock interviews with my husband using potential questions from the ADEA book." Report Response
"As my previous reviewer also noted, the interviews were very conversational and upbeat. I felt I was having an intellectual conversation with one of my peers rather than with some overbearing faculty member. I also agree with the previous reviewer that the Admissions Director is very candid and realistic about what is required to get into dental school and really make it as a good dentist. " Report Response
"The current dental students that came in to talk to us about the school seemed nonchalant and joked about underachieving and not going to class. I wished they would have sent some students in that were specializing in order to raise our expectations, rather than lowering them." Report Response
"That UIC is on its way to being a Top 5 Dental School! I think it is truly on its way, and I am excited to be part of it. I also wish I could have seen some statistics on the # of students invited for an interview vs. # accepted. " Report Response
"Overall, the experience was encouraging and positive. The faculty really wants to find out if you have what it takes to make it in the real world. I think some of the snotty remarks from previous interviewees are unwarranted. I have learned it is never right to pass judgment without knowing all the facts. UIC is a great school, and the experience that UIC students will get in the clinic (being in an urban, underserved area) will far exceed any experience some kid will get in a snooty, white bread college."
